Generating hype is one thing.
Claiming insider knowledge & dangling it in front of info-starved people is another.

In line with your question: if someone has legitimate insider info, that person also has the responsibility to use it wisely. TheWorthyEdge, for example, had that info, generated hype, & it was fine. The problem was that individual teased people with his secret knowledge & was warned by mods because it had morphed 'hype generating' into 'attention grabbing'.

90-95% of people in this thread don't know shit about what is going down this weekend during this event. It's important for the 10-5% that do know something/anything to use that information responsibly. A little hype building is fine & likely encouraged, but go too far & it's possible to create absolute chaos- and our hard working mods are the ones that have to clean it up. :)
I also think that those 5% in the know isn't saying anything in this thread, because if some of the things don't turn up at the event then that will lead to a ban.

lol. accurate.
 
I should have been working on my game tonight, but I've spent about 3 hours of it reading all 7 billion pages.... I'm all hyped out.

Was I wrong..... /nope.

Agreed. Also, some 'in the know' are likely also employed by the company throwing the event & honestly don't want to spoil the fun. :)

Makes me wonder how pissed DemonNite, for example, was that Bloodborne was spoiled prior to E3. He dropped some masterful hints at various times that people didn't even realize fully until after the leak- but I have no doubt he wanted the main reveal to be a surprise.

Some good points. Being warned is definitely an important part that I missed.

I want insider info.

These threads and taking part in them are a treat, especially the trainwreck at the end of the road. Enjoy it while it lasts :D

Ok i try it with you this time.
Verendus can you confirm Edges Claim of 4 Megatons getting announced at the PSX
I honestly don't know what this is in reference to, and I just want to play my betting game. But usually everyone is hoping for one megaton because that would be great, and you all have somehow got to four? That's some leap.

I think I understand the thread explosion, but I don't really want to quit my CM Jabroni podcast to read all that. Too many pages.

Alright whatever you say man :p
Oh, it's on. It's on like Donkey Kong.

Better watch your back. Never know when I might show up and just hit you with a chair or something. Outta nowhere. Providing I don't collapse from the jet lag and fatigue sometime soon. But still, your back. Watch it.
